How to download or view training contract information from TrainingNet

The Training Contract information in TrainingNet is presented so that it can be downloaded and saved as a regular text file, or downloaded and saved as a compressed (zipped) file. If the compressed version of the file is saved, it will have to be uncompressed first before use (using an uncompress tool, like WinZip, PKZip or for the Apple Mac ZipIt). The text file can be imported into a database or spreadsheet system (eg Excel, Lotus 123). The information will be saved in tab delimited text format. This information can then be reorganised to suit the business requirements of your organisation.

The Training Contract information can also be viewed in HTML tables within TrainingNet but due to browser limitations cannot be printed effectively. Skills Tasmania recommends that the "download" or "download compressed (zipped)" facility be used to view and organise information.

Training Net Training Contract lists will be fully updated on a twice-weekly basis.Example of how to download TrainingNet information into an Excel Spreadsheet:
